## Resource

We are back and celebrating 400 episodes of the Zelda Cast a few weeks later, and we've brought some friends along too! This week, we're joined by Adrielle Munger, Jules Gia, Nicole Scott, and Rod Lloyd to play a classic forum game called Hurt & Heal! The premise is simple: 20 Zelda characters start off with zero points, and each turn, players need to take a point away from a character and give a point to a different character! Every 3 rounds, the character with the lowest point total is eliminated! This is an episode you might want to watch the video of just to keep track! We're also taking a minute to acknowledge the horrible couple of weeks in the real world - stay strong and stay safe out there, friends. Thank you for all the support over these last 8 years!
